    For the second straight time we ordered a cup of soup and asked for it to be delivered BEFORE our main meal (lasagna…). Despite specifically telling our server this happened last time we were there, our soup came out with our lasagna. Sounds like a nit, but how hard can it be ? I sent the soup back both times. Thank goodness the lasagna is good, but it smacks of weak management.
    True Food Kitchen - San Diego UTCResponded 1 day ago
    We apologize for the repeated issue with the timing of your soup order and appreciate your patience. Thank you for enjoying the lasagna, and we'll work on improving our service coordination.

    Salad was over dressed, salmon on top of it was good. Plant based burgers were good, side of sweet potato hash was barely warm. Squash pie was not good, sent it back, not charged for it. The waiter was good, and he said he would give my 92 year old mother a free desert, it was her birthday! She loved it! 😊!!

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear your mother enjoyed her birthday dessert and that you appreciated the salmon and plant-based burgers. We'll work on improving the salad and sweet potato hash.

    The food was absolutely delicious! This place is a gem. Each dish is carefully crafted. We went for a lunch/brunch date. Our server was really nice and courteous. He took care of all of our needs. The food and drinks were top notch. Their lavender match latte is a must try for everyone. We ordered edamame dumplings, the veg scramble, and ancient grain bowl. Each of these dishes had a delightful combination of flavior. The interior and ambiance is perfectly beautiful for a Sunday brunch. It uplifted our moods. Would definitely come here again.

    Although we were able to reserve a table online and arrived accordingly, the restaurant had closed its kitchen. Reservation system should probably be updated
